Recently, more and more people have been opting for laser hair removal, but why? Well, there are many benefits which we’ll go into. However, the question remains: Are at-home laser devices better or worse than going to a professional?
Long-Term Outcomes
While at-home laser removal treatments are very cost-effective, they tend to have diminishing results, meaning you may have to repeat the treatment repeatedly. With professional laser hair removal, the upfront cost is far more significant, but the results last much longer. The results are often semi-permanent, meaning you will rarely need to go again, if at all, and if so, it will likely be in a couple of years rather than months.
What can you expect from laser hair removal? The end result will be smooth, hair-free skin, and that sounds divine, right?
What’s the cost?
You’re likely thinking it all sounds too good to be true, so the cost must be eye-watering. Well, not exactly. The upfront cost is high; that is unavoidable, but if you think about all of the razors, time spent, cream, waxing kits, and other professional services you’ll likely receive, the cost will weigh in your favor.
Precision and Effectiveness
Laser hair removal is a more effective method than at-home hair removal kits. It can target dark and coarse hairs without harming the surrounding skin area, which is a huge bonus. This makes it an ideal treatment for anybody, including sensitive areas like the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line. Who doesn’t like the sound of that?
Ingrown Hairs, Removing the Nightmares
Ingrown hairs are a pain for anybody trying to achieve smooth, silky skin. These happen when a hair follicle grows back into the skin rather than out of, and usually because of sub-optimal treatment when removing hair. Ridding of those pesky hairs can be challenging, but several effective treatments help. Our advice is to invest in a proper treatment beforehand; this will reduce the risk of getting any ingrown hairs. If you do, tons of creams can help.
Improved Skin Texture
Undergoing laser hair removal brings much more than hair-free skin, which is why it’s becoming a popular choice for many. One of the most notable benefits of this treatment is the improvement in skin texture. Unlike traditional hair removal methods like shaving and waxing, laser hair removal is a non-invasive and precise procedure that causes minimal irritation to the skin. The laser targets hair follicles and damages them, preventing hair growth in the future. This process also stimulates collagen production in the skin, leading to smoother skin texture. With consistent laser hair removal sessions, you can experience long-lasting results and enjoy supple, hair-free skin.
Used Laser Devices at MedSpas
Often, MedSpas will opt to purchase used laser devices because they are far more cost-effective. But you shouldn’t worry; they are always professionally maintained and serviced and tend to have been used minimally. So, if you have any concerns, feel free to ask the professional carrying out the treatment what the true differences are.
Going to a place with a used laser device can initially seem daunting. However, it is the same as visiting a place that purchased a new one. When a laser device is used for the first time, it becomes classified as used. Therefore, finding a place with a new machine is rare every time. Purchasing a new machine every time is not cost-effective for the provider, and your treatment would not be cost-effective either, as it would likely be passed on to you as the consumer.
So there we have it – a deep dive into laser hair removal treatment and its benefits. If you have any concerns or questions about the treatments, you should contact a local professional who will always be more than happy to help.
